THE CAR OF RUSSIA.
A Calm. Handsome Nan. to Whose Nature All
Fear Seems Foreign.


Copenhagen Letter to Courier Journal
The Gar walked up the broad stone steps
clad in the magnifcenr trappings of "a Russian
uniform, with the steady step of man among
men used to command. On his calm. handsome
face there was no sign Of fear, expectation Of
trouble there was not a tremhle of either hand
or limb although the e6ant-hke Danish guards
who stood near me trembled from head to
foot with the great fearsthat something might
chance to happen, which, did not The Car

The face of the Gar is neither hard nor mean,

of his kindness to the poor of Copenhagen, his
friendly interest in the younger members OF the
in-iaw's house. That father-in-law, the King Of
Denmark is very sooi ana wise old man It
is said that he long ago told the Car that he had
better give up the Russian situation. bring
hither his loved ones, his treasures of art and
gold, and all of his household gods in order that
he might live out the rest OF MS
days in peaceful Denmark, free from
the fear of daggerso and dynamite
The visits of the Gar to the court OF his wifes
father, which grow more and more protracted
each year, are the only breathing spells of any
thing like peace of mind that are granted to his
Imperial Highness; for, strange to say. the Rus

Russian Empress does not hold good when she

times and bave not yet detected anything of the
